We are proud to have partnered with Nokia for the Nokia Asha 311 in the UAE, to provide our customers with the products and benefits that will make a positive difference to their communications," said Farid Faraidooni, Chief Commercial Officer, du.

The new Asha 311 takes full advantage of the Nokia Browser 2.0, a major recent update which uses Nokia's cloud technology to reduce data consumption by up to 90%, meaning that consumers can enjoy faster and cheaper internet access. The smartphone, which is easy on the eye and the wallet, will be available in an exclusive package of benefits.
